Robert Malley says in his X bio that he's a lecturer at Yale and the co-author of a book called "Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel-Palestine." Malley was also the U.S. special envoy for Iran during the Biden administration. He has some thoughts about the "pyromaniacs" who are striking targets in Iran. The United States and Israel, he says, are treating Iran as an arena for "geopolitical and social experimentation," and the losers will be those at the top and the people, which we think covers pretty much everybody in Iran.
More we learn of US/Israeli aims (deal w/parts of IRGC, ethnic breakup, regime collapse) clearer these are pyromaniacs treating Iran not as a country but arena for geopolitical & social experimentation. Likely losers in Iran: those at the top (killed or soon to be) & the people

It turns out that Malley has an interesting history with Iran.
Important Context for Robert’s commentary:
— AG (@AGHamilton29) March 3, 2026
Malley had his security clearance revoked by the Biden admin and is under FBI investigation after classified documents he had access to were leaked to The Islamic Republic. He has close ties to many regime figures. https://t.co/pUXH5vIFas
So he's another Ben Rhodes.
Pretty mouthy for a guy being investigated for leaking classified info to one of the world's biggest exporter of terrorism.

The guy who is federally investigated for connections to the regime that’s being destroyed is grieving its pending defeat? Just inquiring. Anyway, we will not trust anything you say.

You should maybe sit this one out.

Didn’t you lose your security clearance for leaking to the enemy? Why aren’t you in jail?
You do recall the consequences of treason, right?

I would have hoped your lawyers would have suggested that silence would be smart.
Hey guys! The traitor and Iranian spy has thoughts on the situation!

Rob I'm so sorry about your loss of so many friends and former employers.
— Michael Ben (@ZioNAFOist) March 3, 2026
Who will you lose your clearance over now?
So, coming from you, we can assume this is the Iranian government position

But not the young people getting murdered in the street by your friends.

So sorry for your loss. pic.twitter.com/JvrSfvPlTz
I'd say I'm sorry your friends are dead, but that would be a lie.

Since when do you care about the people of Iran? You lost your job as Iran Envoy and were under FBI investigation for suspected leaking of confidential documents to the REGIME. We haven’t forgotten.

We don't know what it is that so fascinates Malley, Rhodes, and John Kerry about Iran.
